Four-Barrel Swinging -- Left Arm And Right

[Bold by Yoda.]

In Four-Barrel Hitting, the Right Elbow (#1 Accumulator) drives the entire Primary Lever Assembly, i.e., it drives both the Left Arm and the Clubshaft. In Four-Barrel Left Arm Swinging, the Right Elbow drives only the Left Arm,not the Club. This action is the above-referenced 10-19-C application that can be used to "support the pull of the Clubshaft..."especially for Short Shot Power."

Any attempt to drive the Club radially with Right Arm Thrust will result in opposition by Centrifugal Force and an actual Power Loss. That is because Centrifugal Force, which is driving the Club at its own very steady rate after its 'Instant Acceleration' Start Down, does not wish to be disturbed. In the event the muscular override is successful, the result will almost certainly be a bent Left Wrist and geometric disaster. Accordingly, Homer Kelley was adamant in his view regarding any attempt to add Right Arm Thrust to a Swing. In his own words: "There is absolutely no point."

Remember, though, that Radial Right Arm Thrust is a Pushing Action -- like turning a wheel by pushing on one of its spokes. This is not the same thing as the Right Arm Swing, a sound procedure whose Longitudinal Centrifugal Acceleration is the result of the Right Arm's Pulling of the Clubshaft in the direction its butt end is pointing.

There is no Four Barrel Right Arm Swinging because it is impossible to Pull with the Right Arm and Push with the Right Arm at the same time.

Mission Impossible

I see a Sea Change here! You are NOW saying there is 4-barrel Swing. The problem here is that with any grip OTHER THAN A CROSSHANDED ONE, it's not possible for the Right Elbow to drive the Left Arm without also radially driving the club, because the force will be applied between PP #2 and the clubhead.

There is no Four-Barrel Swing wherein the Right Arm actively Drives the Club as a substitute for Centrifugal Force. Such an action is, by definition, a Hit.

However, that does not preclude the Right Arm's support of the Clubshaft Pull through Pressure Point #1 (10-19-C). And when the Swinger applies Right Arm Power in any manner other than active Extensor Action and passive Lag Pressure, the Stroke may be properly labeled Four-Barrelled.

Actively or passively, Pressure Points #2 and #3 drive the Hands. Similarly, Pressure Points #1 and #4 drive the Arms. This is true regardless of an individual Pressure Point's Location with respect to another. Therefore, it is possible for the Right Arm to actively drive the Left Arm (through Pressure Point #1) at the same time Centrifugal Force drives the Club (through Pressure Point #2).

For the reasons stated in my prior post, that does not make it advisable.
